We’re going to unravel one of the most critical topics in networking — Loop Prevention Techniques. If you’ve ever spent hours troubleshooting unstable networks, flapping routes, or broadcast storms, chances are, you’ve come face-to-face with some sort of looping issue. In the classroom or during […]

Today I’m going to deep-dive into a very important yet often overlooked concept – the Routing Table Lookup Process. Many of my students know how to configure OSPF, BGP, or EIGRP, but when asked “How does a router actually choose the best route when multiple […]

Today we’re diving deep into a topic that often haunts network engineers during real-world implementations and certifications like CCNP or CCIE — Route Redistribution with Tagging. I still remember a consulting project where a simple redistribution misstep created routing loops and service disruption across multiple […]

We often configure EIGRP and move on, but do we ever pause and ask — how does EIGRP decide which path is the best? The answer lies in its metric calculation — the “math” behind routing decisions. Trust me, once you understand EIGRP’s metric logic, […]
![Static vs Dynamic Routing – Which One Should You Trust in Real Networks? [CCNP ENTERPRISE]](https://networkjourney.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Static-vs-Dynamic-Routing–Which-One-Should-You-Trust-in-Real-Networks_networkjourney-1.png)
“Should I use static or dynamic routing here?” — welcome to a real-world networking dilemma. When I started out in the networking field, I leaned heavily on static routes because they were simple and easy to control. But as networks grew more complex, I quickly […]
